ABS-CBNNews.com reports that Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero has "denied rumors linking him to actress Heart Evangelista." The report noted that Escudero discussed the issues during an interview with entertainment columnist Ricky Lo. "Di po totoo (It’s not true)," Escudero said. The senator also clarified that though he is separated from his wife Christine Elizabeth "Tintin" Flores, he is "not yet single under the law."

For her part, Evangelista also clarified that there was "no third party" involved in her break-up with model Daniel Matsunaga. She cited their "cultural differences" and explained, "I’m old enough to decide for myself, to know what I want and what I don't want, what's good for me and what's not good for me."
